The MagneticDays Head Coach Simone Buracchi introduces another one fundamental cycling exercise of HTT Methodology of Training: THRESHOLD WITH STRENGHT.
“This particular exercise works on watts at the threshold, with particular regard about VO2max during the strenght workouts. Generally, the watts at the threshold are reached by an increase of Newtons (optimal conditions for the athlete), with a consequent reduction in cadence to keep the wattage unchanged and stimulate the production of strenght over time. The Newton “command” of JARVIS smart trainer ensures that the result is fully achieved.”
Technique pills back in September! The MagneticDays Head Coach Simone Buracchi introduces another one fundamental cycling exercise of HTT Methodology of Training: WATT PROGRESSION AROUND THE THRESHOLD.
“Today’s workout concerns in No 4 watt progressions around the threshold – starting from 80% and reaching 105% – with the same ratio of 1 watt / 3 seconds for each progression. What is the difference? The method of execution is the key. In the watt progression No 1 (yellow circle) the cadence is chosen by the athlete. In the second, instead, cadence increases with the wattage according to the ideal rhythms (purple circle). The progression No3 (red circle), is performed on the basis of strength, i.e. always using a cadence of 10 RPM lower than the athlete’s ideal one. The last progression (blue circle) is performed in agility, at a higher cadence than the athlete’s ideal. The goal of these progressions is twofold: on the one hand they stimulate HR zones that are “sensitive” to the improvement of cardiac output, on the other hand, these progressions are used that enhance strength and oxygen consumption.”
The MagneticDays Head Coach Simone Buracchi introduces another one fundamental cycling exercise of HTT Methodology of Training: STEP NEWTON-BASED WORKOUT WITHOUT RECOVERY.
“Today’s workout concerns in two equal Newton-based steps (as shown in the yellow circle) without recovery. The goal is to reach the predetermineted value of Watt. In both cases the athlete uses the same cadence (athlete’s cadence at the threshold) but a different value of Newton (force applied to the pedals): with OFFSET equal to -5 (compared to the value of Newton at the threshold), then -3 and finally 0 (at the threshold) as shown in the pink circle. Playing with different values of Newtons and times of exposure to cycling exercise, the athlete can reach the desiderable value of Watts with a partial recovery of the muscle stimuli. The goal of these steps workout, indeed, is to learn how to overcome the resistant forces that gradually become more important.”
The MagneticDays Head Coach Simone Buracchi introduces another one fundamental cycling exercise of HTT Methodology of Training: STEP WORKOUT WITH VARIABLE VALUE OF RPM AND FIXED VALUE OF NEWTON.
“This exercise – fixed Newton based – uses cadence (rhythm) as a Watt modulator. A constant value of Newton (yellow circles) represent a step workout with variable value of cadence (and Watt) as shown in the red circles. So, the training stimulus mainly depends on the cardio-respiratory system and the muscular system is constantly stimulated on the basis of the Coach’s choice of Newton value. This value will not change during the cycling exercise; in other words, whatever the cadence applied to the pedals by the athlete, Newton’s value (and therefore the strength) will not vary. This exercise is only possible on JARVIS smart trainer, because it allows to work on Watt, RPM and Newton in a separately and specifically way.”
The MagneticDays Head Coach Simone Buracchi introduces another one fundamental cycling exercise of HTT Methodology of Training: THE CYCLING PROGRESSION AT FIXED VALUE OF NEWTON (WITH INCREASE OF WATT + RPM).
“Cadence increases as force (load applied to your pedals) increases, under indoor and outdoor conditions. In this case (as shown in the graph below), pedalling frequency and Watts increase (rec circle) but not the force applied to your pedals (Newton) that remains unvaried (fixed value of Newton at the threshold as shown in the yellow circle). What do we mean when we talk about Cycling Progression at fixed value of Newton? The purpose of this type of cycling exercise (that can only be done with JARVIS smart trainer) is to work separately on Force and Cadence in a focused way. Generally (outdoor conditions), cadence increases (with the same bike gear ratio) of 5 Watts for 1 pedalling that are equally distributed between Newton and RPM. In this case – as shown in the graph below – the value of Newton is fixed and Watts increase of 3 for 1 pedalling. So, the cardio-respiratory system works more than the muscular one if necessary to rebalance these two components.”
The MagneticDays Head Coach Simone Buracchi introduces one of fundamental cycling exercise of HTT Methodology of Training: THE CYCLING PROGRESSION (WATT) FROM MEDIUM THRESHOLD TO THRESHOLD AT THE OPTIMAL RPM.
“The purpose of this type of cycling exercise (red circle in the graph below) is to optimize the relationship between cadence and force, with the goal to increase Bike Power in terms of Watts. The athlete, on the basis of his physiological values, must pedal a progression (in terms of cadence) from 80 RPM (medium threshold) to 90 RPM (at the threshold) with a ratio Watt/Time equal to 1:4. (1 watt each 4 seconds). The aim of this exercise is to investigate the relationship between RPM and Watt. But.. what does cycling progression at the optimal RPM? There is not exist a standard RPM value but exist an ideal value on the basis of the value of watts that the athlete is be able to produce. In this type of progression (and with these values), the athlete starts from his medium threshold (80 RPM) to reach the threshold (90 RPM) with the goal to thus managing to optimize the relationship between cadence and force.”
A few days ago we released la release 2.8.0 della App MD WiFi, introducing one of the last news like the MagneticDays metronome function. Are you ready?
Relase 2.8.0 App MD WiFi | MagneticDays METRONOME function
MagneticDays Metronome function is one of the latest additions available in the release 2.8.0 of App MD WiFi. It allows to improve che cycling cadence (in single or double mode) when the step “RECOMMENDED CADENCE (IDEAL RPM MODALITY)” is ON. The MagneticDays Metronome function can be activated from My Account section.
Relase 2.8.0 App MD WiFi | ACTIVITIES section
The release 2.8.0 of App MD WiFi includes also the new ACTIVITIES section, which can be viewed in the Menu after the log in. In this new section you can view the list of all executed workouts with their respective synchronization status.
Relase 2.8.0 App MD WiFi | New additional functions
MagneticDays Metronome funtion and ACTIVITIES section are not the only latest additions in the release 2.8.0 of App MD WiFi. There are 3 other new addictional funcions, indeed, that make MD WiFi App more and more usable.
Compatibility with the new pack of SELF MANAGED WORKOUTS “EVOLUTION MODE” (coming out soon) that allow to all users to insert the values at the threshold of Watt and RPM.
Data analysis of all MagneticDays AUTOTESTS directly in App by ANALIZE button in the ACTIVITIES section.
Translation ITA/ENG on the basis of your personal language in your device.
The release 2.7.0 of App MD WiFi is available from 2019, August 1th and includes new functions to use.
Relase 2.7.0 App MD WiFi | SPRINT and STOP
SPRINT and STOP are the last functions introduced with the release 2.7.0 of App MD WiFi. SPRINT function allows to make an acceleration (improve of cycling cadence) keeping the magnetic brake in the fixed position. STOP function (managed by the MD Coach) concerns the stop of cycling movement during the recovery step within the HTT workout. When the MD Coach chooses to use the STOP function, the timer indicator continues to go ahead even if the user/athlete doesn’t move his legs, because this condition represent a step of training. SPRINT and STOP are already available and can be used by the MD Coach to analyze the performance, therefore the user/athlete can’t modify this function directly.
Relase 2.7.0 App MD WiFi | How to enable the calibration of HTT workouts
The release 2.7.0 of App MD WiFi also introduces the possibility to calibrate the HTT workouts – via App – by the modification of percentage of training intensity. Here’s the directions:
Sign in to your personal account on App MD WiFi
Click on the Menu Settings, select My Account and enable the button Calibrate next HTT workout
Click on the Menu Settings and select Workout
Use the buttons +/- and select the percentage of recalculation of training intensity*, then click on Next
*Recalculation has effect on all steps of HTT workout. There’s not possibility to modify only some steps. When the workout is finished, this function is automatically deactivated, then you must repeat the procedure every time you want calibrate the HTT workout.
JARVIS rental service is one of the added values of MagneticDays. Our goal has always been to give everyone the great opportunity to try JARVIS scientific smart trainer with the best economic conditions. For this reason, we have activate the rental service (already available for 3 or 6 months in Italy) for Europe also, under the same Italian conditions:
- Minimum period of 3 months at a cost of € 450.00 including taxes or 6 months at a cost of € 700.00 including taxes
- The prices also include shipping costs and a package of 12 training sessions of our HTT methodology (only for the first rental) with a commercial value of € 150.00
- In case of redemption at the end of the rental period, € 300,00 (3 months rental) or € 600,00 (6 months rental) will be deducted from the list price of JARVIS
All Pro and amateurs athletes who live in Europe and wish to train in a professional way, will be able to take advantage of a unique chance in the national and international indoor training landscape.
Technology, innovation and research are the key factors at the base of MagneticDays Training Philosophy, which have changed the concept of indoor training system into a true “cycling lab” with which improve the physical and mental wellness and cycling performance. This new approach (combined with the goal to improve constantly the JARVIS system and its quality), has accompanied the birth of a new protocol of incremental exercise test developed by our team: the MagneticDays Multitest.
MagneticDays Multitest: what is it?
The MagneticDays Multitest represents the last news in terms of incremental test developed by MagneticDays. It involves:
✅ 1 incremental test 1:1 (1 watt for 1 second) | medium speed
✅ 2 incremental tests 8:1 (8 watt for 1 second; the same test is repeated twice for evaluate the best result) | high speed
✅ 1 incremental test 1:8 (1 watt for 8 seconds) | very slow speed
The value that we consider for a good evaluation of MagneticDays Multitest is the last value of Watt reached in the last step completed for each test. After these tests have been performed, the respective values must be represented by a graph to obtain a hyperbola. The next step is to calculate the ratio between high speed test (8:1) and very slow speed test (1:8), and between high speed test (8:1) and medium speed test (1:1).
The higher this ratio the greater the tendency to speed of the athlete. On the contrary, the lower this ratio the greater the tendency to endurance of the athlete. The MagneticDays Multitest has the goal to analyze some specific features of the athlete like speed and endurance and it will be inserted in the HTT training planning by the Coach MD.

The currently Coach of Italian Triathlon National Team Under 23 Andrea Gabba has officially been confirmed to be a part of the MagneticDays Coach Team. “We are proud and happy to have Andrea with us – the MagneticDays CEO Marco Sbragi said – because he is one of the most important Italian Triathlon Coach with a great experience at international level with a fantastic palmarès.“
Coach Andrea Gabba will be the person in charge to create new amazing high quality training protocols of HTT Methodology, that will be named as HTT 2. “I have had the opportunity to try Jarvis Training System by MagneticDays recently, working with a few Pro triathletes and age group athletes, and I was very impressed by the versatility of this product. Since I work with MagneticDays (the first Indoor Training System based on a scientific approach) I was able to convert my ideas into reality, offering high quality built training to my athletes during spring and summer also (at least twice a week), because there are specific workouts that are more efficient if done with this training system if compared to others on the road. MagneticDays is “more than a smart trainer” and my athletes have obtained great results at all levels: World Cup, Italian Championship, Cross Triathlon and more. I’m very happy to collaborate with MagneticDays – Coach Gabba said – because it is not only an indoor training platform but a top cycling lab always constantly growing. MagneticDays allows you to optimize your time and training in the best way, giving you the chance to improve yourself under each point of view.. if you try it, you love it!”
